Russia's Military Develops A Flame-Throwing System



IBTimes: Russia Military Flame-Throwing System Under Development Amid Rising Regional Tensions

Russia has begun to develop a heavy flame-throwing system based on a weapon first tested in the late 1980s following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. That system, known as the TOS-1 Buratino, included a multiple rocket launcher and thermobaric weapon. It is one of a spate of new weapons and arms systems under development in Russia, as regional tensions flare with neighboring Ukraine and the Baltic States.

WNU Editor: It has been around since the 1980s .... and yes .... a nasty weapon.
